The Dark Priestess

Overview

The Dark Priestess is a Legendary Empire Hunt quest from Variks in Charon's Crossing, available after the quest Empire's Fall (Beyond Light). It targets Kridis, a Fallen leader who worships the Darkness. It is the last of the Variks quests leading to Salvation's Grip and takes roughly 30 minutes. The wiki lists it as Season 12.

Walkthrough

1. In Cadmus Ridge on Europa, in a single life defeat 25 Fallen with precision final blows. Older sources describe this step as a random Cadmus Ridge objective (e.g. collecting Flecks of Dark, where precision kills improve drops); the in-game text above is the current version.
2. Defend the fleeing Fallen Skiff while it evacuates, using the emitter mechanic from the Beyond Light campaign.
3. Launch the "The Dark Priestess" Empire Hunt (the Eventide Ruins launch point is closest) and defeat Kridis.
4. Visit Variks in Charon's Crossing.

Rewards

• Biting Winds (Legendary Bow)
• Progress toward Salvation's Grip

Trivia

• Variks describes Kridis as "single-minded" in her study of the Dark.
